Posts: 38 | I am looking at getting a longer rod, but I have limited space. Wondering about the telescopic rods, if they are worth it and what their length is when broken down? | ||

Posts: 1828 | I have a 9' TI telescopic rod. Believe it collapses down to 7'-6". Can easily fit it in any car I've owned. As for performance it is great. Telescoping feature isn't a factor. Never comes loose or anything else that you might fear. | ||

Posts: 1425 Location: St. Lawrence River | I will echo 9' TI rods are nice. 7'6 when broke down I use mine over my Slingblade probably 70% of the time.. the long handle is awesome. | ||

Posts: 2894 Location: Yahara River Chain | I use 4 Okumas rods and they all are telescoping. Three are 8'6" and the other is a 9'3" and they telescope down to 7'6". Been using them since 2008 and have no issues other than losing a ceramic insert which I deem happens to all rods especially over a long time of ownership and use. | ||

Posts: 1405 Location: Detroit River | I have a 9' XH TI telescopic rod that is my main go to rod & no major issues with this being my 7th season using the rod. I've accidentally kicked it while it was on the floor of my boat & knocked 2 guides out but had those replaced. I have noticed this year that the fore grip is loose on the end.
I had an 8'6" Hvy Okuma telescopic that broke down to under 7'. The Okuma retracted easier than the TI. | ||

Posts: 908 Location: South-Central PA | If you want a longer rod but don't have the space for it, the TI 9'6" and 10' rods are hard to beat! Jeremy | ||

Telescoping rods are great. The only problem is when it is below freezing. They will freeze in position. | |||

Posts: 38 | Has anyone tried the Gander Mountain Angler Series Musky Rods(8' and 8'6")? If so, thoughts? Their price is $99 to $109. | ||

I have three Okuma 8'6" rods and a 9' TI, that are telescoping. Only issue I ever had was fishing in single digit temps one morning and when I went to leave, the rod would not move. I put it in the cabin to warm up and it worked fine after a little while. I assumed some water got between sections and froze. | |||
